It is not a Minecraft mod
Tiny Block does not alter Minecraft and cannot join Minecraft servers. It is a separate game with its own worlds and systems.
Quick answer
Want proximity chat without installing a Minecraft mod?
Install Tiny Block free on iOS or Android, join a public world or enter an invite code, and use built-in proximity voice with a microphone on/off toggle. It is an independent 2D survival crafting game—not a Minecraft mod—but it answers the same desire to explore, build, and hear nearby friends without configuring a separate voice system.

Why it works
Choose the multiplayer experience that fits
Voice follows distance
Full volume is reserved for nearby players; voices fade as players separate and stop beyond the in-game voice range.
Designed for mobile sessions
The world browser, invite codes, touch controls, and voice control are part of the same iOS and Android experience.
Questions
Multiplayer FAQ
Does Minecraft have built-in proximity chat?
Minecraft proximity voice commonly relies on a compatible mod, add-on, plug-in, or separate voice tool. Availability depends on edition and setup.
What is a free alternative with proximity voice?
Tiny Block is a free independent mobile survival-building game with proximity voice and a microphone on/off toggle built into multiplayer.
Is Tiny Block voice push to talk?
The control follows the same intent, but it is a toggle rather than hold-to-talk: tap the microphone once to transmit and again to stop.
Can Tiny Block connect to a Minecraft server?
No. Tiny Block has its own public and invite-code worlds and is not a Minecraft client or mod.
Is proximity chat the same as a group call?
No. Proximity chat changes volume with in-world distance, while a normal group call usually keeps every participant at a similar level.
